fanger, Penelope, et al,
The inability of the Palestinians to accept responsibility for their actions and the follow-on hostile behaviors is a result of insecurity.
Look at some of the comments make here, you would think that the Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) were squeaky clean --- having no responsibility for any terrorist action at all.
This dialog is a manifestation of the HoAP Self-defined Victim Personality for the Palestinian people that
who habitually indulge in self-victimization (also known as playing the victim) do so for various reasons: (BY HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY CONSULTANCY on OCTOBER 26, 2012):
• to control or influence other people’s thoughts, feelings and actions;
∆ They tend to manipulate or abuse anyone who does not show them sympathy, but then blame the other person (i.e. the real victim --- Israel) for provoking the abuse.
∆ The Palestinian is attempting to garner sympathy and to gain compassion or support; but will take violent action against Israel and later complain that Israel's response was improper of illegal.
• to justify HoAP Jihadist, aggression and terrorism they direct towards others;
∆ The Palestinian tend to avoid taking responsibility for their life, instead blaming others for their mistreatment or unfortunate circumstances.
∆ The Palestinian diplomatic relationships with those they have acquired sympathy form and use the opportunity to condemn Israel in an effort to convince themselves and the world of their unfortunate status; blaming the UN, US, UK, the Israelis, etc for their plight.
∆ They tend to avoid taking responsibility for their nations outcomes, instead blaming others for their mistreatment or unfortunate circumstances.
• to seek attention; or, as a way of coping with situations.
∆ The HoAP form a crippling dependency on friends and allies.
For a long time good People were afraid of making a comment that might get them attached to the name calling "Anti-semite" these days being "Pro-semite" means killing thousands of Palestinian children in their beds, so these days the label Anti-semite is a badge of honor
I agree, Israel and all Zionist needs to start being accountable for their crimes against everyone. They have got away with too much for too long.
A pity then that the ICC does not have any jurisdiction over Israel in this case isn't it. And if it did it would find them all not guilty as there is no reported cases of terrorism other than those committed by islamonazi's
(COMMENT)
Taking responsibility for their actions is not something Palestinians routinely do. For instance in June 2014, one of the triggers for the initiation of Operation Protective Edge, three
Israeli teenagers were kidnapped at a
in the vicinity of
Alon Shvut.
Khaled Mashal (Chairman Politiburo) said the HAMAS Leadership NO foreknowledge of the kidnapping and in essence, it was not sanctioned.
Between March and November 2014, a small group, supported and under safe haven in the Gaza Strip, known as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)
(I pick this group because it is relative same, the numbers are easily managed, and most of all because I liked the name.) conducted a dozen attacks. "Despite deaths and arrests of leaders in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in 2009, the group remained active—mostly by firing rockets from the Gaza Strip. Although US citizens have died in attacks mounted by the PIJ, the group has not directly targeted US interests."(Quote NCTC) In none of these acts were the Israelis
(the real victims) responsible. In only two
(possibly three) of these events where military related. Civilians are protected against attack, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities.
"Criminal responsibility applies not only to those who perform criminal acts but also to those who aid and abet a perpetrator by encouraging or in any way knowingly helping in the commission of such an act (e.g., by providing information, implements, or practical help). Those who actually perform the criminal act (e.g., wielding the weapon that strikes the fatal blow) are often called principals..."
No matter what a Palestinian might tell you: "Nothing can justify terrorism — ever. No grievance, no goal, no cause can excuse terrorist acts."
